This weekend the Bandits raced at Newark, it was a real shame both teams didn't get to run as it is becomming very frustrating for the novice dogs, however we have managed to get into a tournament in January at Wimbledon. The Bandits put on a sterling effort for the first indoor race of the winter season and came away with 4th place. Smartie had his racing debut and didn't put a paw wrong so we were thrilled.
Yesterday we had a rather wet slippy training session, not that the dogs minded! taking things slowly with Diesel the boxer is really starting to pay off, she managed to go near perfectly and I can honestly say i actually saw a bit of speed too.. it won't be long now before she is racing. We decided that training all the dogs to run back to the bucket would be a good idea, not only will it hopefully increase their return speed but it will also look very impressive at competitions (if all else fails go for looking good!)
Clare and I are in for an early start on Saturday, I'm collecting her at 5.15am to travel up North to Preston for an agility competition. this will be maisy's first since she has had OK weaves so as long as Clare manages to keep me focused you never know what could happen, there is even a very slight chance we could come away with a clear round!! but i won't hold my breath. Clare on the other hand will more than likely come home with a hat trick of clears, making it all look so easy! you can really go off some people. I'll hopefully post some pics next week.
